Pama breaks sound barrier in Atom sportscar

Drivers of the iconic Ariel Atom sports car, pictured, can now have conversations on the move thanks to the engineering ingenuity of Stockport based Pama & Co. The firm has just won a major contract to supply the latest Cardo Scala Rider G4 – a bluetooth headset, originally designed for motorbike riders, to the Ariel Motor Company.

The innovative technology will not only allow mobile phone, SatNav and MP3 player use via a fixed-unit helmet attachment, but drivers can also talk to each other up to a mile apart.

Drivers of the iconic Ariel Atom sports car, pictured, can now have conversations on the move thanks to the engineering ingenuity of Stockport based Pama & Co.

The firm has just won a major contract to supply the latest Cardo Scala Rider G4 – a bluetooth headset, originally designed for motorbike riders, to the Ariel Motor Company.

The innovative technology will not only allow mobile phone, SatNav and MP3 player use via a fixed-unit helmet attachment, but drivers can also talk to each other up to a mile apart.

Kevin McHugh, managing director of Pama said: “We are incredibly excited to be supplying such a pioneering company with the very best in communications technology – when Ariel was searching for a product to provide streamlined communications at very high speeds, the G4 was a natural choice.

“We expect the G4 to become as popular with Ariel Atom users as it’s already proving to be in the motorcycle community.” First produced in 2000, the Atom boasts acceleration of 0-60mph in just 2.7 seconds and is renowned for its supercar-crushing performance.

Tom Siebert, general manager of Ariel Motor Company added: “The G4 is the only device to make high speed mobile technology a reality.

“It fitted the bill perfectly for us and certainly adds another level of dynamism to the Ariel Atom’s offering,” he said.
